a dreamer ignited in the city

A small town girl has a dream in her heart

and tears in her eyes

But she doesnt let a tear drop fall

as her mom and her home grow tiny in the rearview mirror

They say "don't apologize for growing up"

they whisper "stop growing up"

She says she's moving to the city

the looks on their faces says they think it will break her

She now lives on the 8th floor- high in the sky

she's ready to take off but realizes she doesn't know how to fly

She spins and runs and leaps

trying to keep up with the city that never sleeps

Working in the day and partying into the night

the city is full of exotic people and colorful lights

She loves and she cries

she feels like she's never enough yet she tries

She gives everthing she has to give

the city still eats her alive

She doesn't

give up

She slowly misses home less

and loves the city more

She starts to succeed frequently

and becomes foreign to failure

She creates the life

she could only ever dream of before

The city ignites a girl who was a spark her whole life

but was always meant to be a flame
